@dcjboi: Oh... That's so... vague. I could ramble on about nothing and everything, but that sounds pretty painful on my part. /Most/ of what you should know should be explained in the first post. If you have any questions a tad more specific, I could probably answer those.

I will say that lore is hidden among the ruins of civilization. Hailey is well-read, and Arcea by extension. If you ever desire your character to discover odd information, feel free to ask me to provide you with stuff. Things like fallen books, and writings and paintings on walls. Sinnoh is the most lore-rich region in all of Pokemon. There's stuff to learn both about the region and about pokespirits themselves.

Every town has a story to tell. All you need to do is ask for it.

I will pass you a slight tidbit of information that's noooot reaaaaaaaally a secret though. Regarding disease. Without proper medication and immunizations, there is a fair amount of it. Given, fused pokespirit wielders will easily overpower virus, bacteria, or fungus based diseases. However, pokespirit wielders are very much mune to prion based diseases and cannot fight them off any better than humans...

Thing being nobody knows what a prion is anymore in the world of Fallout. Not... unless you read medical books~

Rumor has it among people in general that those whom indulge in cannibalism are eventually driven insane by the guilt. There are supposedly many eyewitnesses to this phenomenon. Your character very well may have already heard of it. In fact chances are they've heard it at least once at some point or another. But... was it guilt?

Appearance (A picture can be provided instead of a description if you so wish.):

Personality (How does your character act and react to others? Their mental state? Flaws and/or personal weaknesses?): absolase is very cold towards other pokemon exept his own. he rarely approaches other humans for fear of embarresment of losing. he cannot seem to break out of his shell, but get scared when he does. effectively rendering him without anyone but his absol, his lifelong partner.

History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events?): absolase grew up in poverty in solacon town, as he was orphaned as a child because his mother(a widow herself) died at childbirth. when he was 6 he was rescued and sent to celestic town where he was taken care of by cynthia's grandmother breifley until he returned to the streets meeting an absol on route 211,that absol became his best partner forever.

Personality (Can be as short or long as you want):pretty much the same as absolase but is cold towards other humans aswell

Moves (Maximum of 6. TM and egg moves are allowed. These are the moves your character gets when they fuse):
sucker punch
night slash
swords dance
superpower
megahorn
stone edge

Other (Optional): absols ability is super luck. absolase has the fortunate power to remember everything so he always remember someone picky, and will deal with them later.

Opening Post (This will be what we use to determine whether your writing skills are good enough. If accepted, you may feel free to copy paste your post here into the IC thread.): I would recommend a minimum of 8 lines and a maximum of 20, but it's your choice.

''hmm time to get out of here. i don't think those gengar are freindly''

'' so what, lets fight our way out of here'' absol communicated to absolase
the 2 fused together and using a few swift swipes of night slash, the gengar were down.

'' come on, lets head to hearthome city . time to leave this barren wasteland.''

@Danaxe: The opening post is the most important part of these sign-ups. It's the primary grading area. Yours... violates the forum's 4 line minimum rule. However, there are some other issues...

That being said, there are multiple things that need addressing. I'm going to copy, paste, and bold the problem parts and then respond to them individually.

"absolase is very cold towards other pokemon exept his own" - Pokemon are extinct, pokespirit wielders can't really interact with pokespirits other than their own to begin with.

"he rarely approaches other humans for fear of embarresment of losing." - This feels out of place, mainly because embarrassment should be the least of his worries in a fight that would very much threaten his life.

"when he was 6 he was rescued and sent to celestic town where he was taken care of by cynthia's grandmother breifley until he returned to the streets meeting an absol on route 211," - Cynthia's grandmother has without a doubt moved on from the world by the time the RP has started, as well as the champion herself. You'd be lucky if Cynthia's theoretical kids were even alive. It's been about a hundred years, give a few, and the average human life span doesn't even come close to half that anymore generally.

Secondly... Pokemon are extinct, and their spirits are confined only to Mt. Coronet. Pokespirits can only be obtained at the age of ten at the earliest regardless. Didn't you notice the part of the SU about fusing? x_x

This RP isn't really one you can effectively get into without either reading the short story on the first post or being filled in by someone who has. It explains the entire concept, which is rather unique and has it's own set of lore and all that jazz. Overall, it feels like you just... didn't try. And that's honestly not going to fly.

Also, Sinnoh is devoid of Pokemon, not plant-life. It's the exact opposite of barren. Quite pretty, if not eerily empty to look at. o_o;

Appearance: Bay has long black silk like hair worn in a ponytail that goes back down to the mid section of his torso.
Dark Skinned from "wandering the wastes" for a year. He is slim, has brown eyes, and is tall for his age. He wears patched grey
boots that he found while scavenging and managed to repair. He also wears a purple scarf around his neck that was given to him
by Kenny. He somehow managed to maintain hygiene his life. He wears patched up trousers and a strapped pauldron he found in an
abandoned store and wears a black, high collar shirt.

Personality: Bay is very cautious observant and mild from spending a year alone in the wastes excluding his poke spirit. He is also non-aggressive unless tempted. If he is surprised he can immediately become violent. He is also very protective, loyal, and a quick thinker. He has instinct made for battle but dislikes risks so rarely does it unless necessary out of fear of losing his Eevee. He is unaccustomed to socializing due to being alone for so long but he retained his sanity. He is very inventive even repairing R.I.L. (radio Interface layer) he uses for picking up radio signals for news and music and he loves to tinker with technology. He is somewhat flexible to situations. Bay has a high pain tolerance and endurance making up for his lower than average raw strength and his neurotic behavior when dealing with death.

History: Bay wandered the "wastes" of the world for about a year after escaping from Eterna City after receiving his Pokemon
Spirit. He never knew his parents as they were killed by raiders soon after abandoning him and leaving him for dead until found by scavengers from Eterna. Although he doesn't even know anything about his parents, his Father had a job similar to being a bounty hunter specializing in killing poke spirits. His mother was something of a engineer and she actually had another child, who she also sold away in Eterna, unknowing to anyone else. When Bay got to the age of 8 He was sent part of Eterna's labor and ever since arriving in Eterna he planned to run away, not knowing that the majority of the world was in ruins. He escaped from Eterna with a group of children including his friend named Kenny, who gave Bay his scarf. They attempted to bolt away from the city but they got split up in the process while on their way to Children's City due to a large group of adults that attacked them on the way out of the city. During this ambush the rest of their group except for an older kid named Alex (who actually informed the adults of their escape plan) died. Neither Kenny nor Bay knew how to get to children's city, although they heard rumors of it being almost a sanctuary for children from adults. So now Bay is lost and wanders the waste in search of either Children's city or his friend. He survived the year by scavenging
from abandoned stores and avoiding conflict.

PokÈspirit Species: Eevee

Nickname: Flow

Personality: Flow is Loyal and Mild like Bay. Flow is well balanced for survival and conflict based on his speed and adaptability.
flow is also calm but quick to anger if anyone threatens his or Bay's safety. Flow also enjoys reading and art so he gets Bay to
carry certain things he finds around such as pictures or books. Flow is Bay's only companion except for Kenny and Bay is Flow's only companion for vice versa. Flow generally disapproves human behavior due to the state of what used to be, from what he's read, almost a paradise for people.

Moves: Dig, Iron Tail, Return, Wish, Double Team, Last Resort

Other: Can detect things easily and escape from combat quickly. High Perception. Adaptable to environment. When fused Bay becomes exceptionally agile. Has a higher than average jump, faster running speed, although he isn't strong in terms of brute strength against other poke spirits.

Also, according to official game canon, animals are not a thing, and that word honestly has no reason to even exist. Pokemon are the equivalent replacement.

That was kind of one of the big reasons pokemon disappearing wrecked humanity's day. They suddenly had exactly nothing other than vegetation to eat and went from having enough food to nowhere near enough to support the population. This was partially because of a complete and total lack of meat and partially because Pokemon played a heavy role in helping humans farm efficiently. They didn't have tools and machines. Pokemon were always far superior to them.

Also, Jubilife is one of the four major cities. Approximately 10% of it's buildings have collapsed to some degree and approximately 30% have suffered some sort of major structual damage. It's full of adults, and slave children. Because of Jubilife's government body's hatred towards pokespirit wielders it's a dangerous place to be if you don't want to gather attention.

However, you can find plenty of things to scavenge there if you're willing to risk being attacked by enslaved wielders.

Veilstone is a ghost town. The department store is a heap of rubble, and the warehouse area has suffered approximately 50% destruction. 50% of the rest of the town has suffered major structural damage but has not collapsed in any significant way. You could find a small amount of supplies if you're lucky, but the town has been mostly ransacked of useful things. Team Galactic's HQ stands strong however, and may contain interesting lore considering it's former occupants.

All ghost towns are very eerie, containing evidence of past residences, such as furniture, an unkempt bed, dolls, silverware. Other things like that. Veilstone is no exception. You may even find forgotten clothes, though these are considered to be of at least some value.

It's implied that animals may have existed at one point, do exist, or fictionally exist somewhere in the canon (most of them). They're never proven to have existed, but they appear in sayings and dialog, pokedex entries that reference them directly, and humans (which may or may not be an animal) existing. Granted, one could easily write those things off as "being there because it's a game" and used as devices for relatability, since it'd be pretty hard to believe that the Pokedex would, in a real scenario (or a higher rated, more surrealistic scenario), have such trivial information as it does in the games, and really, a lot of things about the Pokeuniverse could be scene in the same light.

I'm assuming she passed over it. If you need a critique as soon as you can get it, the first thing from me would end up being that it's EXTREMELY short. Yes, you did it on your 3DS, but there should be no problem being able to hit the Edit button when you have access to a computer.

The personality is very bare; pretty much anything to expand on this would be beneficial.

Another requirement is a fused appearance alongside the normal one; while it still has to be recognizably human, all Pokémon Spirit users take on various Pokémon traits while fused. Pale green skin is a good start, in the case of a Bayleef spirit. A leaf on his head, anything.

The history will need expansion, too. How was he raised if he had to be raised incognito? Obviously he must have been rather sheltered considering almost every adult in Jubilife City either hates children with a burning passion or fears their ability to use Pokémon spirits with a warm sensation in their upper trouser region. Since he hadn't gotten his PokéSpirit until after his parents were executed, what stopped the adults from killing or enslaving Nick, too? He couldn't have just "managed to escape." That's what really makes the history a dealbreaker of sorts.
Also, Mount Coronet isn't in ruins (nor is the rest of Sinnoh for that matter, just devoid of non-human life); Mount Coronet is a mountain, so it's very much intact.

However, I do applaud your choice in adding Sleep Powder as a move, though may I suggest replacing Sweet Scent with something else? Even Reflect or Synthesis would benefit Nick more than Sweet Scent. (Actually, considering Meg doesn't like to hurt people, a defense-oriented moveset would fit MUCH better instead of having four damaging attacks.)

@Machomuu: They also reference real life dragons, a mythical creature... The pokedex reference to 'real life creatures' is really just fourth wall breakage, so it doesn't really imply anything other than that Game Freak gets lazy sometimes.

@Damanlyguy: It'd be nice to be able to prioritize helping people with quick questions over reviewing SUs without being vilified. Just saying.

...I'm afraid I can't accept this. It's your responsibility to take however long you need to write something that meets up to quality standards, especially regarding SUs.

I meant that I'm doing the entire thing from a 3ds browser because I don't have access to a computer that doesn't block forum sights. I'm going to probably not going to be typing a novel in a post like some people do because my wrists get sore (like they are now) when you type alot on a touch screen keyboard without really stopping.

I will put some thought into continuing the sample post (what to add to it). I was wondering whether I should post the continuation as a seperate post or an edit.

Yellow Like I previous stated earlier. I'm still kindof new in Rping and I just want to thank you for all the work you do. Also I'm not really great at controlling Non (Role) Player Characters So any advice would help me a ton everyone.

@damanlyguy, please take as long as you need to produce sufficient work. It doesn't have to be long; it just needs to be expanded on. If you need something to get an idea from, maybe reading other sign-ups will help you out. (Also, if you need access to forum sites on a computer, I have a nice trick for Windows you might find some use out of.)

@dcjboi, generally, NPCs don't need much work unless they're bosses or significant characters in a PC's plot line like an archenemy. An NPC can really just be any random character, it doesn't even need real information.

@Damanly: You should ideally copy paste your SU into a new post and edit from there...

Now, I need to tell you this right now, because it could become a serious problem in the future. Using a 3DS simply isn't an excuse for making posts that fall under quality standards. It's just not fair to other people, as it impacts their roleplaying experience. That's the board's stance and it's mine. I absolutely cannot excuse you from the board's quality standards even if I wanted to.

So if using a 3DS cripples your ability to write to the point you can't meet quality standards, I honestly need to recommend you focus on getting something else to write with before you start joining an RP.

I for one frequently post from my phone and never violate quality standards.

@dcjboi: Thank you very much. I appreciate the acknowledgement and the thanks. c: NPC characters aren't really different from normal characters, but you should generally not be posting from the eyes of an NPC. That is to say, you should only be playing NPCs through the eyes of another character. If the NPC leaves or otherwise becomes alone, you should stop writing what they're doing.

If the NPC is also a plot character they're an exception though. So if you ever see me playing NPCs independently of other characters it's because I'm the GM and that means I'll be doing plot stuff at times. A plot character is simply an NPC that is being used for plot purposes instead of simple interaction purposes.

Just a heads up, sometime soon I'll be making an SU for Creed detailing his personality, appearance, and a little bit about what he is. I don't know when, probably this week, but when I do it'll be in my wiki page.

@dcjboi: If you give my most recent post as Lucy a brief look, specifically at the part where I describe Oreburgh, you'll get a good idea of what to expect from Veilstone. Litter/debris all over the place. Supernatural feelings of eeriness. Only, y'know, tailored for that particular city, which I gave before. :P But yeah! Knock yourself out.

I like the idea of this one lol But do you mind if I make twins? Name: Spark (Female) and Arc (Male)

Age 13 (twins)

Appearance The twins are completely identical, the only thing that gives away their gender is their voice. They both have short hair with differences in color. Arc's is blue, Spark's is red and both carry black bandanas to hide it. Their long sleeve shirts are reversible, painted black on the inside but colored blue and red respectively. They wear jeans to protect their legs and have slip on shoes. If they wear their black attire they are pretty much indistinguishable, unless you can look directly into their eyes, both have brown eyes but Spark has one eye that is white. They are pretty young with some scars, whenever one gets a scar the other will afflict an identical one in the same spot without hesitation using a pocket knife that Spark always carries around.

Personality: Arc: (He wears blue). He has been known to be the physically stronger one of the two, he often will be the bait in schemes. He isn't built for strength compared to other kids though, favoring technique over force. He is the more calm of the two, though will always celebrate and dance with his sister. His one goal is to help his sister with whatever she asks, and he does so loyally. If there is a fight, both will fight, if it is a one on one he will always volunteer. He is prone to fits of rage whenever separated from his sister for longer than three days, for whatever reason, thus he never leaves her side. They promised that if one dies the other will take out as many adults as possible before the other dies. When they aren't out doing Spark's plans they are always playing, adults often report hearing laughter and games before being robbed. Indeed Arc will distract adults with games such as hide and seek or punch tag. He is best described as misled neutral and acts much like an innocent child (unless angered)
Spark: (She wears Red) The most cunning of the two, and strongest with elemental attacks. She is the one who goes in and steals while her brother distracts. She is also the oldest twin and the one who comes up with plans. Her attitude towards people seems friendly, though she is often scheming something chaotic. She is a chaotic neutral character, loving the thrill of causing chaos for everyone. Though her plans don't usually involve killing adults, if she wants to break up a civilized group or tyrannous gang she will often assassinate an important member and frame another member. She works for hire as well, taking on almost anything for a price, though she specifically prefers clothes and light bulbs. If her brother falls in battle she promised to kill as many adults as she could in his name stating that all the adults in the world aren't worth our lives. They are actually open to children and don't initially attack adults unless paid or provoked, even asking if they would like to play.

History Both were born to an independent group somewhere in the forest, some ten couples and eight kids. They lived as nomads, constantly moving around. One day while the twins were playing in the forest, a group of marauders kidnapped them and sold them to do slave labor at Eterna City. They were not able to do heavy lifting so they worked as scavengers. The twins were young enough to become accustomed to the work, finding it as their only way of life. Because they worked hard, were loyal, and lived off of half rations each, they were given freedoms, such as being able to freely roam the city with a guard (though they never thought about escaping at the time). The guard that was assigned to them had only one order Kill them if they escaped. The guard began to enjoy the kids, even playing games with them, they were his diamonds in the rough. Leaders let it slide, the kids worked hard and didn't complain, but one day the overseer at the twins' residence came back drunk. He punched Arc violently and beat the other kids. The guard came in and proceeded to fight back, ending both of their lives. Before he died, he gave the twins a map to an escape route, his pocket knife, and pills given to him that would help erase the memory of the city.

After they escaped only Arc took the pills, and his brain replaced the holes in his memory with his memory from the group they were born with, though he lost color in one eye. Spark decided that she wouldn't take the pills, finding that a dead friend should never be forgotten. They came upon the crystal formation, Arc gained Plusle and Spark gained Minun. They built a shelter in a cave near Eterna City, favoring the maze like passages. They were offered a place in the underground, though Spark saw her as insane and declined (only getting away because they bought themselves out and offered to be mercs).

Pokéspirit Species: Plusle and Minun

Nickname: Crimson and Violet

Personality: They are themselves very playful, often amping the twins natural child energy. They are always used by the twins (the twins never think of changing) and are just as loyal as the twins. The difference is that the pokemon are seemingly less trusting towards adults than the twins.

Other (Optional): Being together already empowered the two twins before they were given spirits. The addition of the similar pokemon made them even more powerful (though if they are separated Arc will go into a violent rage and try to attack as many people as possible until he finds her or die, this stems from his sub-conscious hatred from before he wiped his memory mixed with the empathetic minun's nature.) Only Spark is able to absorb energy from outside sources, making her a stronger elemental. She may overpower and become enraged as well, her hatred of people is increased with her power and she will attack anyone who crosses her path. The more energy she has the easier it is to anger her (excluding Arc). She may control this by carrying around electrical appliances, light bulbs, or giving power directly to Arc. In both fits of rage their moves they can use are Thunderstorm and frustration. Thunderstorm causes everything around them to rain and they continuously use thunder on people they pass.

Opening Post
Arc was just in position for the next target. he waited for the gang's group to come into sight. He took a breath and used double team. He then proceeded to have a clone run in front of the gang's car and pretend to fall over. He had done this hundreds of times and knew right when to throw the large rock to sound like it hit a physical object. He jumped into place where the clone was when the car stopped and pretended to be down.

"What have we got here, a child?" The dirty, scar faced member said, "I bet they'd love another slave in Eterna City!" He looked towards his buddies and yelled, "Hey we are about to make a little extra food boys." They hooted and howled loudly.

Spark watched the whole thing unfold, she waited until they all gathered around to check out their prize, Idiots. She crept up to the car and began looking for items to steal, Some cloth for clothes, nice! Cool some bread and berries, these guys are rolling in loot! She began putting things in a bag she found in the car, she got out through the back out the other side and slashed all the tires to the car and drained the gas, Hope they aren't big smokers she laughed at the outcome of that situation.

She released a little energy by shocking one of the members just enough to paralyze him. Just as she did that Arc did a back flip kick on the supposed leader, knocking him out. He then used wild charge, hearing the cracking of ribs of the last man. All of them were now unconscious or unable to move, "Lets carry them to the cars Spark!"

"I'd rather not though how about you go ahead and do that, take their shirts and shoes. try not to light any sparks near their car." She laughed a bit, she knew their boss wouldn't be happy, "Also take the car out of park and push the car down that hill." Arc complied, pleased to help his sister. they escaped back to their cave

"Can we play mercenary?" Arc was excited to be home, they had collected various things in there and all of their belongings had been hidden behind a large moveable rock, to heavy for just one of them, "I bet we will get another assassination attempt in Jubilife!" He was trying to play slaps with a double team clone, though could seem to hit his clone's hand.

We really don't need anything. She looked around the cave, many people had wondered in, only to get lost and die of hunger, It gets to hard to find lost people, and they make the place smell terrible, we need a new hideout. "Arc would you like to find a new place to move to?"

"How will we move all of our stuff? I don't think we can do it alone."

He is right, we can't steal any kind of truck to move the things without getting caught on the roads. She thought hard What if we find a group to work with. "Tomorrow we will look for somewhere to go to okay? Don't you want a bigger place to play?"

"Yeah!" His clone and him jumped up with joy, and almost hit his head against the top of the cave. Spark set up some mats and roughly sewn together from old clothing blankets. they both laid down and went to sleep, Arc excited to have more space and Spark excited to get a home that didn't smell like rotting corpses.

Additional note- Is the old pokemon league building open for grabs? I'd like to take that as my next headquarters if it is (If not I have a few other places but that is my main choice one)

Sorry about the hiatus I went on. Also Yellow by the way, I felt like my post of Mt. Coronet was sort of lacking due to how it plays a big part in the back-story to this RP. If there is anything I didn't pick up on please let me know.

@Dcjboi: Seems alright to me. The cave systems leading up to it are intact and whatnot. What you need to know is that at the summit there is a large stone spire withe a literal cloud of pokemon spirits hovering around above it, giving it a strange resemblance to a huge tree. (In which the rocky spire is the trunk and the spirits the leaves.)
